my first gun ever and first post here

drd · 11-19-2010, 07:19 PM

It was a really pretty Ruger Bearcat .22 single six with the (brass)? They had just come out. Paid $37.50, the gun shop across the street sold them for $35 but they were not in stock. I told the guy where I bought it they were cheaper across the street. He said " When I'm out of stock, I sell them for $32.

Like a idiot I sold it some years later. Wish I had kept it.

A Hiawatha rabbit 22 short rifle

Don't we all wish we had kept the things in life that would be worth alot more later on.

I was given a Savage Model 7 by my Grandfather. He had bought it new in 1938. I received it in 1962. In 2007, I gave it to my oldest Grandson. Hopefully, he will continue the progression.

a bruno bolt action i chopped the barrel to 16 inches and threaded it for a silences str8 from the box. Shot 500 rounds through it on day 1.

I don't know what model or year this gun is. I know it's old and made by Savage.

Dutchboy · 12-06-2010, 06:02 PM

10/22. Still works great

BETH · 12-06-2010, 06:24 PM

i just looked at the Colt website-EXPENSIVE

larrye44 · 12-09-2010, 07:07 PM

Remington 514 given to me on my 10th birthday. I'm almost 67 years old and this has been a treasure since the day my father gave it to me. He told me in no uncertain terms that I was to take very good care of this rifle. I feel like I have kept my word. You know it is old when an inexpensive .22 rifle has a walnut stock on it. Back then they never even thought of any other kind of wood for a stock. No serial number either. I own 16 long guns and this little .22 means more to me than all the rest put together. A 57 year old, one owner, single shot .22 rifle in NRA 95% condition or better.

1969SS396 · 12-12-2010, 11:02 AM

My first .22 was a Remington 550-1 that was given to me when my Great Uncle Scotty passed away. A few years later I sold it to my brother, then realized my mistake and asked him to let me buy it back.....that was 20+ years ago and I haven't parted with it since.

Bob & Wife: Quick questions: You obviously have a lot of guns NOT being fired for many months. What type of oils etc, do you use to keep them from getting rusted over their storage time?? New guy, Thanks Bob

One Shot · 12-14-2010, 06:46 PM

First 22 that I paid for is a Ruger Mark II with red dot and Hogue grips.

It wasn't that many years ago.

Remington 51 · 12-14-2010, 08:41 PM

Savage Model 19 NRA, full military stock. Still have it.

rbart48 · 12-15-2010, 01:09 PM

My first .22 was a Marlin Model 80DL. It was a bolt action rifle with a 7-shot magazine. It came with a rear peep sight and a hooded post front sight with a bead. I purchased the gun in 1961 when I was 7th grade. I still own it.

dualsportrider · 01-01-2011, 01:57 PM

A Davis Derringer in 22 mag. Now its the Ruger Single Six Convertable.

rdegro · 01-02-2011, 12:16 AM

I had a Mossberg 144 and wish I still had it! This was in the 50's and I took it with me when I was in the Army stationed on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. My second is a Remington 66 that I haven't fired in over twenty years.

you sure that's not a full .45acp? I don't know of any 1911's that com as .22's right out of the box without a conversion kit.

todd51 · 01-02-2011, 09:31 AM

That Colt Ace is the real thing. I think there were three issues of the Ace, two before WWII and the final one ending in 1982. They are a beautiful .22 semi auto and match the 1911 exactly. Problem for me is they are getting pricey like all those Colts and I am afraid to take it out much any more. I got this one in 1982 and it is a joy to shoot.

My first .22 was a single shot bolt. From, Sears Robuck. I was ten yrs. old. Wow! That was, 56 yrs. ago. Wish I still had it.
